Yummly for recipe search

Yummly’s Semantic Search Engine Is The Ultimate Online Cookbook For Foodies by Leena Rao, TechCrunch (Jun 21)

Yummly is described as a "powerful food search portal". It may pull us away from what Yahoo and Bing can do, or direct searches at allrecipes, epicurious, and the others.

The secret is in the filtering - "Not only can you filter results by type of food, course, and ingredient, but you can also break down recipes by diet, allergy, nutrition, price, cuisine, time, taste, and sources. " And you can re-size the recipe for number of servings and get nutritional information.

Of course it is a community. Must register to "get taste-specific recommendations, find and follow TasteBuds, import your recipe boxes, and edit recipes. "
